Alt-News.com is For Sale

In an effort to reduce the sheer number of domains and websites that we have accumulated over the years, we have decided to sell off a number of great domain names. Come on, you know that alt-news.com is a great domain – and it is easy to think of exactly what type of site you could run with this domain name…

Just bounce on over to Jtkconsulting.com and let us know that you are interested in buying alt-news.com and find out just how cheaply it can be yours.

That Moment, much more then a moment

I think it was Of Mice and Men that talked about an instant standing still, just a moment that is more then a moment. I had a moment like that.

When I was about 17 I was walking home late one fall night, the night that we fell back for daylight savings time. I crossed over a road into a field and as I climbed a hill the wind kicked up and swirlled fallen leaves all around me in a circle. I was in the middle of this mild vortex of crisp fall foligae It was strange and wonderfull.

It was not the most signifigant moment in my life ( meeting my wife, the birth of my child, as well as many others ), but of all the things that have happened to me it is this moment that stands out to me in vivid detail. I can play it over and over in my mind and it takes me back to a feeling that I had, for only a moment, along time ago.

For some reason that moment picked me and it meant something, even if I don’t know exactly what.

Why We Love Antiques

Joanne gave a speech at the local chanber of commerce the other day and was gracious enough to let Collectiblog re-publish it:

One day while I was scavenging through her pocketbook, I pulled out a gorgeous lace handkerchief, heavy enough that I knew something was in it. I carefully unfolded it and unwrapped what looked like diamonds and saffires.
